Look, I understand if you value the level of your mons. When I was 11, I really liked a level 53 Stoutland that was traded to me, carrying me through the campaign of BW.

But quite frankly, the colo is a different place entirely, there is frankly quite a lot more skill involved, since your not facing AI's anymore, so you gotta adapt to strategy and tactics, not just time devotion to certain mons.

I also admit that level can matter up to ~50 since some mons don't evolve/ unlock good moves until that. But to go around boasting a full lv80 team and saying your good because of it makes no sense.
